Storm Damage Restoration in Port Coquitlam

We extract and we name the water at the footing. A moderate rain on a high river is enough. The sump, the discharge, and the outside grade go in the note. If it is groundwater, we say groundwater, even when the sky looks dramatic on the news.

Mary Hill and Lincoln Park low lots follow that footing story. The hill wells are a different street.

Whichever is still entering gets the first move, and usually both start on the same visit. The well is diverted and the basement is pumped. The valley is covered if the roof is safe, and the foyer lid is opened to the wet fill.

Oxford Heights two-storey roofs leak at that foyer valley. The bathroom above is checked only to confirm the water is not a supply line pretending to be weather.

Central roofs open at the flashing. The ceiling and the top plate get wet together because the attic is shallow. We open the lid, cover the metal, and dry the top of the wall. A river-side footing in a different neighbourhood should not be copied onto this note.

Temporary covers in the wind go on when a crew can stay on the roof. The indoor bay is the part that cannot wait.

Two holes, two pictures. The grade at the foundation and the open flashing are both this storm if both are wet. We will not fold them into one sentence that sends a roofer to a sump, or a pump crew away from a valley that is still dripping.

The rooms get dried either way. The file is what keeps the repairs pointed at the right opening.
